COVID-19 Coronavirus Clinic Policy & Procedure

Infection control standards at Podiatry Station have always been high, and we are proud to operate from a clean and modern facility. However, certain measures that were implemented due to the COVID-19 pandemic will remain in place until further notice. To ensure we are fully compliant, we are implementing these policies and procedures in line with advice provided by The Royal College of Podiatry and Public Health England. However, this is not limited to their advice, and we have made some important decisions of our own. The key areas of continuation will be:

• Staff wearing full PPE.
• Additional cleaning and disinfecting of surfaces, equipment, and floors.
• Closure of internal waiting area, meaning patients must wait outside until their scheduled appointment time.
• Patients to wear face mask prior to entering the clinic, and to sanitise their hands immediately upon entry to the clinic.
• Treatment room doors to be kept open, to allow for adequate ventilation.

Appointments are booked at the patient’s own risk. We accept no responsibility if a patient (or anyone accompanying the patient) becomes ill from attending the clinic.
